“She has been a godsend in helping me address pain, with long lasting results.”

Sylvia Chrisney is an incredible healer. She is a woman of immense integrity, intuition, intelligence and skill. I am no athlete, although sometimes it feels like my life is a full-on marathon with no pit stops! As a mother of two young, active boys, my body has been through the ringer—from giving birth to child-wearing; from breastfeeding to baseball—being a mom is a 24-hr full-contact sport! Sylvia has been a god send when it comes to helping me address pain. From mild to chronic issues, she has a wealth of knowledge and a deft touch that allows her to administer comprehensive therapy with long lasting results. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for pain relief—from the daily wear and tear of life as a stay-at-home mom, to the high intensity training of an elite athlete. Sylvia’s got you covered.

“Sylvia gave me the confidence that I could learn to understand my body better than anyone else."

There is no way I’d have made it through my 2,300+ mile barefoot running adventure without Sylvia’s support and advice. Not only did she help keep me physically in check on what was a monumental challenge, but she gave me the confidence that I could learn to understand my body better than anyone else. That’s powerful stuff that lasts a lifetime

“I have been six months now without severe knee pain despite all the training I've been doing."

Clara Allen, wearing a yellow shirt with the number 142, competes at the National Crossfit Games, lifts a barbell above her head. Her red hair is in braids and her muscles are strong. A judge in front has their arm raised & she has her eyes on them.

My whole life I’ve been competing in sports from Gymnastics, CrossFit, and Olympic Weightlifting to mixed martial arts. In all the sports I’ve ever done, I have always been very passionate about training, devoting most of my time to becoming a better athlete. As a result, I had intense body pain by age eleven while competing in Gymnastics. As I got older and entered into Crossfit my condition only got worse. One month before competing for the world title of “Fittest Teen on Earth” in the 2016 Crossfit Games I could barely walk due to the pain in my knees. It wasn’t until I started MMA that I found trigger point therapy and absolutely loved it. I have been everywhere from physical therapy to knee specialists but nothing was nearly as effective as trigger point therapy. I’ve been six months now without severe knee pain despite all the training I’ve been doing. I’m very blessed to have found trigger point therapy and have an amazing practitioner such as Sylvia.

“Sylvia was able to target areas on my body that has been bothering me for a very long time."

Sylvia has completely changed my life. I’m a former professional athlete who has crossed between bodybuilding, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, arm wrestling, and everything in between. I have had A LOT of treatments over the years, from extended chiropractic care, ART, myofascial release, cupping, dry needling, acupuncture, and traditional massage. Sylvia, in just a matter of two hours, was able to target areas on my body that has been bothering me for a very long time. So please believe that if the “woman with the world’s deadliest thighs”, and Australia’s first female arm wrestling champion says she completely approves of this method, and wouldn’t want to ever go back and see someone else, you can count on that testimony. I value my integrity and feel 110% confident in recommending a visit to Sylvia. Not only is she professional, on time, clean, and courteous, she’s also incredibly vibrant, great at building rapport, and an all around genuine person. Basically, I’d like for her to by my Sister in law.

“Relieving pain, lowering recovery time, regaining range of motion, and improving my performance has been fast tracked."

As a competitive skateboarder injuries are common and unavoidable. Until I met Sylvia I accepted that it was normal to hurt.  Chronic pain was something I endured as part of the sport and at times it was debilitating. While training, traveling, and competing I have been able to incorporate trigger point therapy into my routine and it has been life changing. Relieving pain, lowering recovery time, regaining range of motion, and improving my performance has been fast tracked by Chrisney and trigger point therapy. While racing overseas on team USA Skateboarding I was able to bring home 2 silvers and a gold medal against the best in the world and my body has never felt better. Thanks to Sylvia Chrisney I have been able to live a relatively pain free life and have a refreshed outlook on what is possible.

“I have seen some great results in just a few weeks.”

Sylvia came highly recommended to help with my ongoing Plantar Fasciitis. I have been suffering for nearly a year and have tried many different treatments including shock wave therapy but nothing was making a difference. I then found Sylvia who introduced me to pressure point therapy. Her helpful videos and approachable manner have made the treatment exercises easy to carry out despite being on a different side of the globe to Sylvia. With perseverance and a willingness to learn and heel, I have seen some great results in just a few weeks. I would highly recommend Sylvia, she is a solid professional.

"This is the best I have felt on my whole journey!...It's just phenomenal!"

Jamie Mcdonald aka Adventureman dressed in a green superhero costume with a red cape, sporting some stubbly facial hair. He has kind eyes and a warm, inviting smile. He is standing in front of tall trees in a natural setting.

I feel absolutely freaking incredible! Before meeting you, I was soldiering on with an Achilles Heel problem and I even spent a week in a doomsday state thinking that I had chronic tendinitis and that this was going to be the end of the run. All it needed was someone like you to come in and just release everything. Every morning I do this mobility thing. Prior to my session with you, my whole body cracked every time. Today, nothing cracked, like nothing! It is the first time I have ever done those moves and for nothing to crack, it is incredible. As far as running, this is the best I have felt on my whole journey! I am certain it is because everything is just so elastic from the work you have done. It's just phenomenal! Sylvia, I really believe in what you have done on that session and the Trigger Point Therapy you are doing. I have so much more confidence for the rest of the trip. This is just great and I thought I'd share that with you.
